„And what an album it is, packed with twelve intense, powerful songs about the dark, troubled world we live in. Apitius has always been a fearless artist, unafraid to take chances, try new things, defy public opinion. In AGE OF STRAW he goes beyond what he has done before, attacking the complacencies and hypocrisies of the age… He is an artist who speaks truth to power.“ (Willard Manus, author of „Mott the Hoople“, lively-arts.com)
